Building Muscle--favorite DVDs/Premixes, etc

[Beavs]

For those of you on muscle building rotations (as opposed to endurance) what are your favorite DVDs? Any interesting premixes or mishmoshes you might be using that you are willing to share? I've been using S&H, GS, PUB/PLB, and 4DS (also a bit of P90X but I can't say I'm much of a fan of Tony Horton) but I'm looking for a bit of inspiration. I've been debating buying Push Pull.....

S&H and GS are my favorites. I also like the Upper Body premix on Muscle Max. S&H is still the best for pure muscle building although I had good strength gains with GS as well. GS and MM go up to 12 reps while S&H sticks with 8 and allows for more rest between sets. I hate pyramids and don't find them real good for muscle building (aside from all the changing of weights which drives me crazy.) I did like the 4DS but I wish it didn't have the pyramiding in it. I was able to go up to 70# on the underhand rows which I never thought I'd be able to do. Chest & Back was my favorite strength work of the 4DS.

My favorites are actually GS, Pyramids and the 4DS. Since the beginning of November I have been rotating the GS, PUB and the Upper Body premix in the 4DS. I have seen very good gains. I have been measuring my biceps since April 2007 but not every month. On November 10, I measure my biceps and I was at 13 1/2 inches. On December 29, I measured again they measure 14 inches. I'm starting to see some definition now as well. This is just for upper body. I don't do as much leg work as I would like.
